Roll Call I'm the House.

A Washington correspondent describes
q roll call in the houss of representatives:
"'Roll call' shout the pages, running
about the corridors Of the house wing.
Roll call! Yeas and nays Yeas and
naysr 1t reminds one of the boys about
the theatres or opera singing. Opera
books! Books of the opera Libretto!
librettor The effect, however, is quite
different. If you are in the restaurant
when an important bill is pending you will
witness stampede when the little fellows
run from table to table with their Roll
callr Division Of the houser or Call
of the houser The latter isa variety,
but the former signals to members occur
every day. Down into the sub-base-
ment, down into the subterranean COM
mittee rooms, into the restaurant, into
the bar, along the main corridors, among
the reception rooms, and even across to
the Congressional, the small boys with
the silver badge skip with the cry: Roll
callp Roll call!' And the members who
are interested in that particular measure
drop knife and fork, drop gossip with the
ladies, drop stories with the gentlemen,
drop cocktails and courting and rush to-
aged differently from a few years ago,
when every member had to be on hand
and look out for himself. Now the floor
may show less than quorum when the
clerk begins to read, and then before the
second call begins for absentees the mem
bers have been gathered in from the rooms
and corridors, and pretty full house is
recorded. '--Pittsburg Dispatch.

Queer Things I'm China.

A decree has been published in The
Pekin Gazette which gives definite shape
to the negotiations Of China with the
pope. The cathedral schools, dwelling
houses, hospital, museum, printing Office
and library, SO well known for $50 years
as the Peitang, are to be removed TO an
other site quarter of mile distant.
The bishop is highly praised and rcw1ded
with second rank decorations, as Is also
Mr.. Commissioner Deitring of the Gus
toms, Tentsin. Abbe Fayier, who went
TO Rome and Paris from Pelin to COLI
duct the negotiations, is honored with the
third rank decorations and $500. The
accord of France with China seems to be
perfect.
The new cathedral and other buildings
will be erected at the expense Of the Chi
nese government, following in this re-
spect the example set by the great En-
peror Kanghi in the latter part Of the
Seventeenth century. The empress
wiShes to have the cathedral. which
oyerlooks a park where she will reside
occasionally, in the western precincts Of
Ae palace. What she will do with the
cathedral is secret, and perhaps not yet
decided. News.

A Primitive Turkiah Bath.

bath" said Col. Joe Shelly, the famous
scout, Il thought would die, but shut
my teeth together and said: Il can stand
it as long as you can, old fellows. 1t
was at the close of long march on hot
day The Indians fixed a tepee until it
was air tight, heated rock and then
rolled it into the tepee. One by one we
crawled into it, after having stripped off
our clothing, Some of the Indians didn't
have much on, and then we packed to-
gether as close as sardines in box.
thought l would melt. Every few min
utes the lord high executioner or master
of ceremonies would talk Indian and
throw little water out of can on the
rock. This would fill the room with
steam. 1t seemed an age before they let
me go, but I guess itwasn't more than
half an hour. Then we all made rush
to the river near by, and dash of = few
minutes male us as fresh as daisy. No
matter how tired we were, the sweat
bath made us feel like kings. Toledo

1t is mistake TO regard the condition
Of a slave in the east as utterly wrctched.
On the contrary, he is much better off
than the average artisan in Europe. The
worst he has to endure is the severance
from his home and the journey to his
place of destination. The relations be-
tween master and slave in eastern coun-
tries have little analogy with those form
erly existing in Brazil and North America.
1t is usual for the Arab to grant freedom
TO his bondsman after certain term cf
servitude; but in general the boon is de-
clined and the slave prefers to continue
in service where he is well taken care
of. The children of a Mohammedan
master and female slave stand upon an
equal social footing and enjoy the same
legal rights of heirship as the offspring of
the legitimate wife. The mother, by the
very event of the birth, becomes free and
cannot be sold. An emancipated slave
frequently inherits his masters property
and carries on his business. In Meccah
and Jeddah l know many freedmen Of
this class who have become eminent mer-
chants.-Cor. st. Louis Globe-Dispatch.

New Tanning Substance from Coal.

A new extract of coal is being intro
duced in Germany for industrial purposes,
especially for tanning leather and disin-
fection generally, to which the name
"pyrofuxin" is given by the discoverer,
Professor Paulus Reinsch, Of Erlangen,
Bavaria. Unlike the generality of such
compounds, this new material is not
derivative Of coal tar, or of any Of the
distillates of coal, but is obtained directly
from coal itself. Pit or bituminous coal
contains most of it, and is prepared by
being broken into nuts. The crude pyro-
tuxin is extracted by repeated boilings in
a solution of caustic soda. The pyrofuxin
enters into solution and is allowed to
stand for time. 1t is then poured off
and carbonic acid gas is passed through
it. The resultant liquor has specific
gravity of 1.025 to 1.030 and holds from
ten to fifteen grammes of pyrofuxin to the
liter.
In its purified form the compound is q
fine, non-triturable substance, without
taste or smell, non-poisonous and in ap-
pearance like catechu. Some Russian
coal contains 18 per cent. of pyrofuxin.
After the extraction Of this material the
coal remains combustible. 1t is described
rs being one of the most powerful and effec-
tive antiseptics known to science. On this
account it is expected to be most valuable
for tanning, as being twenty-eight times
quicker in action than bark and produc-
ing better result at decreased cost. 1t
will be soon enough to give credence to
this alleged leather tanning agent when
specimens of good leather are produced

1863 Il may be OF interest at this remote
date:
Almost at any time one can see small but
compactly built man of about 45 years OF
age walking through the camps. He moves
with his shoulders thrown littlo in front OF
the perpendicular, his left hand in the pocket
of his trousers, an unlighted cigar in his
mouth his eyes thrown straight forward,
which, from the haze of abstraction which
wells them, and a countenance plowed into
burrows of thought, would seem to indicate
that he is intensely preoccupied. The sol
diers observe him coming, and, rising TO
their feet, gather on each side OF the way TO
see him pass-they do not salute him, they
only watch him curiously, with a certain sort
of familiar reverence. His distracted air is
not so great while he thus moves along Us to
prevent bis seeing everything without appar-
emily looking at it; you will discover this in
the fact that however dense the crowd i'm
which you stand, If you are an acquaintance,
his eye will for an instant rest ON you with a
glance of recollection, accompanied with a
grave nod of recognition.

and contour indicate extreme endurance and
determination, complete the external APP
pearance OF this small man, as one sees him
passing along, turning and chewing restlessly
the end of his unlighted cigar. His counte-
nance in rest has the rigid immobility of cast
iron, and while this indicates the unyielding
tenacity of the bulldog, one finds in his gray
eyes smile and other evidences Of the pos
session of those softer traits seen upon the
lips and over the entire faces of ordinary

A Mattress Makers Views.

Nobody respects anything now, and I
saw a rich woman the other day let her
boy years old empty box of candy on
pale blue satin couch and then sit down
on it and rub his shoes up and down on
the edge. l say when there's no respect
left for anything it's no wonder decent
work comes TO an end. l mako a mat
tress and there isn't an inch Of il that
isn't sewed to last and that isn't an
honest piece of work, but You can go
into any house furnishing department and
buy one that looks just as well fer third
less money. Everything's so cheap that
people don't care whether anything lasts
or not, and so there's no decent work
done, and people pretend TO have learned
trades when really they just botch things
together. Helen Campbell in New

tage of the sharp rivalry in wares of this
